Jody Martin (LACM) has
communicated to humanity this video of a tragic confrontation between
robotics and undersea life forms.

At a depth of approximately
1,800 meters, a repair robot is working on a pipeline. Here it is
seen sawing a 3-mm-wide slit. The pressure inside the pipe is 0 psi
(0 bar), while the pressure outside is 2,700 psi (186.16 bar), i.e.
200 kg/cm2 (1.3 tons/ft2). During this procedure a crab comes into
the picture.>>>The

We were deeply moved by
this encounter and have thus decided to set up an online condolence
book and forward the most touching entries to Dean Pentcheff from
the Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles.
